AI Technical Summary
During the manufacturing process of lead-acid batteries, when the plates and separators are assembled, problems often occur, such as the positive and negative plates being misaligned in height and front to back, and the external tabs of the electrode group being deformed and tilted outward, resulting in unstable welding or plate falling. The existing manual sorting method is inefficient and has poor consistency.
A lead-acid battery tab arrangement device is used, including a conveying mechanism, top and bottom clamping jaws. The pole group is clamped by pneumatic fingers to make it perpendicular to the conveying mechanism, and the tabs are arranged by the top clamping jaws to prevent the pole group from spreading and the tabs from being damaged. The adjustable clamping jaws are used to adapt to different pole group sizes to ensure the consistency of the tab arrangement.
It improves the production efficiency of tab arrangement, reduces labor costs, reduces the risk of plate damage and plate dropout during casting and welding, and ensures the consistency and accuracy of tab arrangement.

[0002] Lead-acid batteries are composed of plates, separators, electrolyte, battery cells, etc. During the battery manufacturing process, the plates and separators are grouped in a certain quantity and manner, and the tabs on the upper parts of the plates are cast-welded to the busbars. During the process of grouping the plates and separators, it is very easy to cause the positive and negative plates to be uneven, misaligned front to back, and the tabs of the plates outside the pole group to be deformed and tilted outward. Therefore, before welding, the pole group needs to be sorted up and down and front to back, and the tabs of the plates outside the pole group need to be tilted inward to reduce the risk of unstable welding or falling plates during the cast welding process. The current method of tab sorting is manual sorting, which has low production efficiency and low consistency in the tilt of the plates outside the pole group. Utility Model Content
